The resolution points out that the tuition language in the biennial budget bill has not been determined. However, as currently worded, it may allow a tuition increase of no more than 2 percent of the previous year's tuition or up to $100 more annually for full-time enrollment.
But what was discussed at a May finance committee meeting is what trustees will do: Increase tuition this fall from $149.66 per credit hour from $146.03. The new fee will mean it will cost a full-time student with 28 credit hours $4,189 per year, up from $4,089 currently.
That increase would generate an estimated $820,000 more for the college in fiscal year 2014, which starts July 1, 2013 and goes through June 30, 2014.
Fall enrollment is projected at 8,700, down considerably from three years ago.
